TAAD (Technology Aerospace Aviation Defense) - November
Thursday, November 12, 2026 (5:30 PM - 7:30 PM) (EST)
Description
Cool People. Fascinating Topics. Free bar and bites.
Our November 12 TAAD, presented by Northrop Grumman and hosted at Florida Tech, is one of just two TAADs each year that is open to the full Chamber membership and the public.
This month’s lineup brings three very different perspectives into one very Space Coast conversation: Janize Zilch, Melbourne site lead at Northrop Grumman; Aaron Weikle, Enterprise Architect with Redhawk Digital; and Chris LeDoux, founder of Lumalogic Studios, who will share a behind-the-scenes look at his special effects work on the film Hidden Figures.
6:00 networking | 6:45 three rapid-fire TAAD Talks | 7:30 networking
The Space Coast Chamber’s TAAD Initiative connects leaders across technology, aerospace, aviation, and defense through curated gatherings, thought leadership, and rotating host experiences with local industry leaders.
TAAD is designed to create the room where sectors that often operate on parallel tracks can connect around people, ideas, and opportunity. The result is stronger collaboration, talent retention, coopetition, and industry growth across the Space Coast.
Most TAADs are sector-exclusive. November is different.
This event is open to Chamber members and the public, making it a rare opportunity to step inside the TAAD conversation and hear directly from leaders working across aerospace, defense, digital technology, and creative innovation.
Free to attend. Register today.
